Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for cosine is <span><span><span>cos<span>(x)</span></span>=<span>Adjacent/Hypotenuse
</span></span></span>The inside trig function is <span><span>arccos<span>(<span>3/5</span>)</span></span></span>, which means <span><span><span>cos<span>(x)</span></span>=<span>3/5</span></span></span>. Comparing <span><span><span>cos<span>(x)</span></span>=<span>Adjacent/Hypotenuse</span></span></span> with <span><span><span>cos<span>(x)</span></span>=<span>3/5
</span></span></span>
Find <span><span>Adjacent=3</span></span> and <span><span>Hypotenuse=5.
</span></span>Then, using the Pythagorean theorem, find <span><span>Opposite=?
</span></span>a² = c² - b²
a² = 5² - 3² = 25 - 9 = 16
a = √16 = 4
<span><span>Adjacent=3</span></span><span><span>Opposite=4</span></span><span><span>Hypotenuse=5
</span></span><span>
Plug in the value for sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(x) = 4/5 </span>
Answer:
Leg1 = 9 and leg2 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Points to remember</u>
<u>Pythagorean theorem</u>
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
<u>To find the length of each leg</u>
It is given that, hypotenuse = 15 feet
Let base = x the height = x +3
By using Pythagorean theorem we can write,
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Height²
15² = x² + (x + 3)²
225 = x² + x² + 6x + 9
2x² + 6x + 216 = 0
x² + 3x + 108 = 0
By solving we get x = 9 and x -12
Therefore one leg = 9 and other leg = 9 + 3 = 12
